KTEC Key Technologies
shows very steady intense and extensive
Big Money" accumulation, as of 12/22/2007.
Look at the charts
below for the charts of 2006 and 2007. This usually
means
mutual funds are taking positions or the news is getting
out that the
company is doing very well.

KTEC now shows more 'Big Money Accumulation' than all but five
or six stocks in the 6500 TigerSoft monitors. It suggests big
investors
see a rosy future for their stock, barring a bear market for
stocks
as a whole.

Insiders are selling to
institutional buyers. The stock is way below the
radar of most small investors. It should go
significantly higher, as investors try
to avoid risk by buying more defensive stocks, including
those in food related businesses.
It has already achieved the 58% yearly gain we expect from
typical stocks that look
it did in the Fall of 2006, in terns of intense Accumulation and
a price breakout.

Insider Selling To Mutual Fund Buyers
It
is common for corporate insiders to sell shares to institutions. They do this
because they
realize the best way to get outsiders to see what
they have created is to offer them a part of the
package. Then they will have a vested interest
in spreading the word. Walla Walla is long way
from Wall Street. This seems a plausible
explanation for the option exercising and selling
seen. Fidelity, for example, does not seem to
have a position in this company. To me that
suggests potential ahead.
